Israel and Hamas at Odds Over Gaza Disarmament Plan

A disarmament plan for Gaza announced by former President Donald Trump has encountered a public disagreement between Israeli and Hamas officials over the order of steps required to implement it. The plan, which includes the creation of a Board of Peace to oversee the agreement, has been met with competing demands from both sides.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Hamas must disarm before Israel withdraws its forces from Gaza. He added that the disarmament cannot be a "fictitious disarmament," according to a report by the BBC. Netanyahu said he is in discussions with US officials about how to proceed, noting, "They have ideas; some of them are acceptable to us and some are not, and we know how to stand our ground on these matters."

However, a Hamas official told Reuters that if Israel does not approve and endorse the Board of Peace's disarmament deal, the group will refuse to implement it. The official said the Gaza agreement is a phased agreement that must be implemented by stages. Once both sides approve the agreement text, the official said, Israel must begin implementing the first phase, including withdrawing its forces from Gaza. The official also said that the Palestinian National Committee and International Task Force must enter Gaza, and that Hamas would hand over its weapons to it, dependent on Israel endorsing the agreement.

The plan, announced by Trump in September 2025, includes the disarmament of Hamas, the withdrawal of Israeli troops, and the reconstruction of Gaza. Netanyahu has faced calls from his far-right allies, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who dismissed the draft as "not acceptable," according to the BBC report.

The disagreement comes just months before Israeli elections, and Netanyahu is considered unlikely to want to make concessions. The BBC report characterized the development as a setback for Trump's peace plan.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
